They are conducting a research study and are looking for Penn State alumni who live in Pennsylvania that might be interested in helping to support Penn State's research agenda. This study is being conducted remotely due to COVID-19.  Below are brief details about the study:

    1. 26-40 years of age
    2. Drink 2 or more alcoholic beverages per week
    3. Use an iPhone
  2. Participation consists of:
    1. Wearing alcohol wrist device (size of a small watch or small Fitbit) for 28 days

    3. Three short surveys at baseline, 14- and 28-days.
  3. Compensation: Up to $120 paid in gift cards
